The one positive, the ONLY positive I can see from this is that teams will have to respect the run a little more under Smith.
Line him up in the shotgun (because our Oline sucks so bad that you can't line him up under center) and they'll have to have a LB spy Smith on almost every down. That'll free up an area for a receiver to become open.
With Zwick teams could just rush four or just blitz one guy and every one else would drop into coverage. So you'd have 5-6 defenders covering 3 receivers. Not exactly hard to do.
Without a rushing game we will lose every time.
At least Smith will have one full game to play against a team without a devastating defense. He'll get a chance to get used to a gameday atmosphere without taking the snap behind 3 scores on the 5 yard line in a hostile environment.
